Since 2024, Shawan City has been focusing on project construction, going all out to seize projects, promote construction, and get off to a good start, continuously injecting confidence and power into promoting high-quality economic and social development. On April 7, at the construction site of the fifth section of the extension supporting and water-saving renovation project of the Ningjiahe Medium-sized Irrigation District in Shawan City, machinery and construction workers were undergoing construction operations, and the site was very busy.

The total length of the channel reconstruction project of the Ningjiahe Medium-sized Irrigation District in Shawan City is 48.23 kilometers, including 3 main canals and 7 branch canals. The construction is divided into six bid sections at the same time.

Yang Bo, a cadre of the construction and management unit of Shawan City Water Conservancy Bureau, said that the project is also urging each bidding section to increase investment in machinery and personnel. After the project is completed, the irrigation area can be improved to 164,500 acres, involving the two towns of Dongwan and West Gobi, increasing The grain production capacity is 1.8 million kilograms and the new annual water saving capacity is 1.33 million cubic meters, which can effectively promote the sustainable development of agriculture and animal husbandry in the two towns. 

Similarly, in Liumaowan Town, the Shawan City Jinjinjima Water Conveyance Backbone Project (Yangjiaqu) renewal and reconstruction project has resumed work on March 25, and various bidding sections are also under intensive construction. The project mainly constructs more than 11 kilometers of anti-seepage channels and supporting buildings such as water control gates and agricultural bridges.

It is understood that the Shawan City Jinjinjima Water Conveyance Backbone Project (Yangjiaqu) renovation project has a total investment of 21.7 million yuan and will start construction in September 2023.
